[quote="Sean Hogan - 何祥"]ahhh the area around the University brings back many sepia toned memories...

Not all Princes Street, pipers and Pringle jumpers, is it?

Nice video Marco, it always amazes me how much height and/or distance these riders get on bunny-hops. Best bit has to be the flair off the tree, quality.

Fat tyres are great fun for mucking about and acting like a big kid Adam. For some good stuff chucking a smaller bike (BMX) about have a little search on youtube for Daniel Dhers.

Marco- that was superb, bike handling skills in abundance. How do you know if you can do these things- when are you ready -just how steep is the learning curve?

These boys are very well known down the fracture clinic, I would have thought (had I thought about it)

Try it and see if it works (on something smaller), if it doesn't get up and try again. Repeat until you get it right or hurt too much to try anymore. A lot of the BMX riders have foam pits that they practice on for the really nutty stuff but there's still that first-time-with-a-hard-landing attempt.

Are you getting in some sly practice then Ian to give us a demo at the summer picnic social?

Yeah the flair is cool

Like the bit where he does a 180 over the handrail and down on to the side of the stairs as well
